 It is provided as an intelligent front end to dispatch a web browser.
-It will check if an X Windows display is available, and if so if there
-is already a browser running on the display which can accept a remote
-connection.  In that case, the file will be displayed in that browser;
-you should check explicitly if it has appeared in the running browser's
-window.  Otherwise, it will start a new browser according to a built-in
-set of preferences.

-Alternatively, tt(pick-web-browser) can be run as a zsh script.

-Two styles are available to customize the choice of browsers:
-tt(x-browsers) when running under the X Window System, and
-tt(tty-browsers) otherwise.  These are arrays in decreasing order

+Various styles are available to customize the choice of browsers:

+The value of the style is an array giving preferences in decreasing order
+for the type of browser to use.  The values of elements may be
+
+startitem()
+item(tt(running))(
+Use a GUI browser that is already running when an X Window display is
+available.  The browsers listed in the tt(x-browsers) style are tried
+in order until one is found; if it is, the file will be displayed in
+that browser, so the user may need to check whether it has appeared.
+If no running browser is found, one is not started.  Browsers other than
+Firefox, Opera and Konqueror are assumed to understand the Mozilla
+syntax for opening a URL remotely.
+)
+item(tt(x))(
+Start a new GUI browser when an X Window display is available.  Search for

+item(tt(x-browsers))(
+An array in decreasing order

+The array consists of the command name under which to start the
 browser.  They are looked up in the context tt(:mime:) (which may
 be extended in future, so appending `tt(*)' is recommended).  For
 example,

+item(tt(command))(
+If it is set this style is used to pick the command
 used to open a page for a browser.  The context is
 tt(:mime:browser:new:$browser:) to start a new browser or

-runing on the current X display.  The escape sequence tt(%b) in the
